Surgery to correct an inward-turning eyelid, stopping the eyelashes from rubbing against and damaging the surface of the eye.
Entropion is a condition in which the eyelid (usually the lower lid) turns inward, causing the lashes to rub against the cornea and conjunctiva. This leads to irritation, redness, watering and, if untreated, corneal damage.
A short, precise surgical procedure restores the eyelid to its normal position, relieving discomfort and protecting the eye. It is typically performed under local anaesthesia as a day-care procedure.
Entropion is a condition in which the eyelid, usually the lower lid, turns inward so the lashes rub against the surface of the eye. This causes irritation, redness and watering, and can damage the cornea if left untreated.
Surgery is done to turn the eyelid back to its normal position and stop the lashes from rubbing the eye. This relieves discomfort and protects the cornea from long-term damage.
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during it. Mild soreness or swelling afterwards is common and usually settles with the care your surgeon advises.
It is usually a day-care procedure, and most people return to routine activities within a short time. Bruising and swelling around the lid typically improve over one to two weeks, with stitches removed at a follow-up visit if needed.
